Fipronil is a broad-use insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide that disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels, resulting in central nervous system toxicity.ipronil is a slow acting poison. When used as bait, it allows the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage. In cockroaches, the feces and carcass can contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill others in the same nesting site.
Use: Fipronil is most commonly used as a once-a-month topical insecticide on cats and dogs to kill fleas and ticks. Fipronil is generally mixed with an oil carrier and the drug collects in the hair follicles from which it is slowly released.ode of Action: Pyrethrins affect the nervous system of insects and result in repeated and extended firings of the nerves. They do this by affecting the flow of sodium out of nerve cells. Use: Pyrethrins are used to control ticks, fleas, lice, Cheyletiella mites, and mosquitoes.
